On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

I have a theory… I think some straight men feel validated when a gay man finds them attractive. They don’t want us fr, but they want the attention. Especially the ones that don’t get the females they want.

i have a true hatred from sour cream and ranch and it’s more than just the fact that they don’t taste great to me, it’s the way that people cant ever consume them in a normal fashion like they have to do it in a big beastly trifling fashion every time
“New Yorkers make being from New York their entire personality”
Yes. Because it is a personality. It’s a nationality. It’s a culture. And if you don’t get it, you were never meant to get it, because you’re NOT A NEW YORKER. goodnight.
